In the ABA League 5th round opener, Mornar will host FMP in Topolica Sports Hall in pursuit of their second win of the season. FMP, however, are hoping to snatch their second road victory of the season. Only one can achieve it, though. Which one?
ABA League 5th round, Friday, 14.10.2016:
Where? Topolica Sports Hall, Bar
When? 20:00
Story of the game: Another basketball festival is coming up in Bar, as Mornar are set to host another opponent at their home, Topolica Sports Hall. After they have beaten Karpoš Sokoli the last time they hosted an opponent in Bar, they will now try to do the same with FMP, the third team that will come to Montenegrin coast as guests this season.
On the other hand, FMP are coming to bar after a home-court defeat against Igokea and wish to stand up after the shock in the previous round. Even though they like to stress that playing away from home is not their strongest side, they will do their best in order to celebrate and improve to a 3:2 record after five rounds. After all, they did the same two rounds ago in Novo mesto, where they have knocked down Krka.
Match-up in focus: What a clash of the pass-masters it will be in Bar! Lamont Jones, the second passer of the league (8 assists per contest) will face in the point guard position so far the most prolific point guard of the league Filip Čović (9 assists per game). It's very likely that the one that will perform better in this battle, will lead his team to a new win. Dare to bet who?
Head to head in regional league: 0:0.
